what's that value of $footertext?
is it the actual contents of the footer file?
have you tried displaying the contents of $footertext just before you call
checkmember()?
does it contain what you're expecting?

Subject: [PHP] Variable won't work in function, even when I global it?
On my website, I open my header (and footer) file with fileopen and
then eval() it. I know I should include them, but I knew nothing about
php when I did this. Anyway, I'm working on "groups" for my website.
They will be a kind of club. At the top of every group page, I include
a group function file. Among those functions is one that checks if the
user trying to go to the group is a member of it. If not, it gives them
an error message and exits. It is also supposed to eval() the footer
before exiting. My code is as follows:
function checkmember(){
global $groupid;
global $userinfo;
global $footertext;
if($groupid != $userinfo['groupid']){
print "<b>Error:</b> you're not a member of this group.";
eval($footertext);
exit;
}
return;
}
The thing is, it doesn't seem to eval() the footer. I've even tried
getting $footertext out of the $GLOBALS array. I have also tried
printing $footertext to make sure it wasn't a problem with evel().
Nothing has worked. When I did isset() on $GLOBALS['footertext'], it
worked however. Thanks to anybody who can help.
